Episode 4.08 Episode Discussion -- Lexington and Concorde

[arkaycee]

I'm frankly surprised that Kit went through with the performance with Angus. She's in so much pain, and I hope that Papi finds out that she is an alcoholic. At least she didn't take total advantage of Kit, but I think she would have if she hadn't passed out...

Oh--I see Paige and Shane inside now.

Amazing that Phyllis was not stalking Alice!

"Show me the money"--hmm....takes on a whole new meaning!

Didn't Helena's kids just get kicked to the curb, as it were? We haven't seen them for ages, and suddenly, POOF!

Hot, naked sex--what a concept! Thought that had been forgotten about on this show.

Angelica is so cute!!!!!!

And I think Jodi will be history soon--Bette clearly has a problem with the non-monogamy issue.

Holy shit! Shane's dad is back? I more than expect her to unload harder than a goddamn tank or a mini gun from T2. I wouldn't want to put a finger between those two in the next episode. In the trailer, when he says 'I don't want to fight', I thought she was gonna calmly say 'Too late' then go kaboom! That being said, here's my thoughts on Lexington.

The car sex was hot. Nothing wrong with a classic spot. I just loved the horn honk.

What is up with the money thing? Did that woman try to **** Helena with a dollar bill? If she did, that would barely top Bette finger **** Alice at the opera house. She could stand to be a little more charming and a lot less butch.

It would've been nice if Angus was sitting in the room and then have Kit unload on him. Then we'd know what kind of fury a woman has for a cheating man.

The burning Bush agents sucked. I'd pay $50 for Tasha to stand up and say what was on HER mind. You can burn the Bush but there are limits as to how far a soldier will indulge people and their rights to free speech. And as a strong supporter of the military and homosexuals, in general, I got no problem holding my fist up with pride.

Seeing Helena's kids was a jolt. I thought maybe she had them drowned like unwanted kittens.

Jodi, according the press releases, is here for the long haul. Evidently next week Alice is going to be visited by Phyllis's husband, so she's not going to be forgotten either.

Oh yes, hot sex. TV is so educational. Now I need someone with whom to re-enact all those moves.

What are your thoughts on Kit's duet with Angus? It sounded pretty good to me, right until she started yelling at him.

lol Shane and Paige did actually make it to the party.

Bette & Tina convo:

Sitting at Bette’s house (I reckon Tina came to pick Angelica up, because later Bette says she’ll “just go get the diaper bag”) is Tina.

Bette comes in carrying a tray, she says, “So I hear you’re buying the rights to Jenny’s New Yorker piece?”, and sets the tray down while Tina says, “It’s such a nightmare.”

Bette: “Really? Why are you doing it then?”

Tina (saying with irony): “It’s the hottest property in town…Everyone wants it.” She sighs and adds, “That’s what I hate about the movie business.”

Bette: “She’s not very kind to you.”

Tina (exasperated): “I have to kiss her *** because every studio in town is blowing smoke up it when all I want to really do is wring her neck… and that character Nina, is that really what people think of me?”

Bette (assuredly): “No…Tina! Come on, Jenny’s a fiction writer, her story is funny, and over the top, that’s why people are loving it.”

Tina (looking vulnerable but saying with conviction): “You said some of those things.”

Bette: “In pain, in anger. I know our relationship was real, I know you loved me, and it wasn’t some trivial experiment to you.”

Tina (looking serious, and like someone was telling her a great truth she wanted to hear): “It’s so hard, Bette (Turning her head to the side, either unable or not wanting to meet Bette’s eyes as she reveals earnestly…) .I miss you so much sometimes. I miss our life. I miss the way we communicated subtly. I miss the way that we worked together to make everything around us so beautiful (camera’s zooming in on her face, still unable to look at Bette). I miss being surrounded by women, feeling part of something so secret and special (she looks about to cry).”

Bette: after a lengthy pause “Come here".” (She reaches for Tina.) Tina sidles closer to her and Bette puts her right hand over Tina’s shoulder and down her back and wraps her left hand around Tina’s head bringing it to rest on her shoulder. One of them sigh, I think it’s Tina because she next says, “Sometimes I think I made a mistake (camera shot of Bette’s face over Tina’s shoulder, and Bette’s eyes open quickly after that declaration).

Bette (I really cannot tell what she’s thinking here, as per my first post, I didn’t feel any emotion coming from Bette): “You don’t have to think about it that way.” And she’s rubbing Tina’s back, then you hear footsteps and it’s Jodi coming in, and camera turns to Bette & Tina looking like they’re about to kiss (wishful thinking?). Introductions are made, Bette gets up and shares a couple of kisses with Jodi that absolutely drop Tina’s smile to her feet.

All in all, looks promising for the die hard Bette & Tina group (jumps for joy), but I think they’ll (writers et al) draw it out, and I hope they do. Bette and Tina could never just hop back into being together.

tina may have wanted to kiss Bette but I wasn't getting that vibe from Bette, and have the tibetters forgotten Tina is still with Henry?

[ZLFan]

[susannah]

I am sorry, didn't mean to burst your bubble ZL! Forgive?

[detfig]

ah ha, but you forget the scene at the planet, where Bette asks Tina where Henry is and Tina says he's "Clueless" and then goes on to chide Bette on being right? I'll have to re-watch it and see what that was all about, but I did get the impression things were not all that well in Tina's Straight world.

you are forgiven

[Chicki]

Hmm......as a loyal Tibetter, I have to admit that lately I have been giving up on thinking of Bette and Tina together. I mean come on, Bette tried hard and for a long time to show Tina she wanted to be with her. Tina rejected her, wouldn't even entertain the thought, which in my opinion, if you share a daughter should have been given the relationship a much closer look before turning the other cheek.

Now.....Tina sees she isn't so thrilled being with a man, and now she has regrets? Oh,okay Tina well sorry gal but you may just have to live with them because Ms. Bette may just be movin on!

I love B&T together, but damn there is only so much Bette should take, and only so many chances she should give Tina to be with her. In my opinion, she is out of chances.

[ecstasythrumusic]

Chicki I am too torn between wanting them together or not. I don't care for Bette with Jodi and it isn't because of seeing Bette and Tina with other's. There is no chemistry there at all.

[wingedwonder]

Sometimes I just wish I could jump right into the show! I had to hand it to Kit. It's alright, forget Angus! I laughed when she told Papi- she didn't make the chart?! Bette's doing great but I am tired of Tina. I don't want Jenny to sign on with her. And Helena- she needs to be careful. (By the way where did her kids suddenly come from??) I like Tasha, but she needs to chill. This is the world away from the base. Now, Shane & Piage was a real turn on! Did anybody notice how beautiful Shane's body is??? Oh God I hope Dad didn't come to ruin anything but we get explanations! Oooohhhkay, think I said enough. Let me just say, I can't wait until next Sunday!!!!!!!

When the camera zoomed out with Shane just standing there, mid-action-pose, stunned...I wanted to cry. Her first really awesomely serious commitment, the first time she really WANTED to stick around, and it's screwed up by the man who screwed everything up for her. That hurts so much.

I really like Tasha. I think she's hot and I like seeing how she can represent the side of all those politics that many people in my group of friends don't want to hear from. She makes the soldiers more than hateful killing machines to me. (It's sad that it takes a TV show to do that, but, eh.) I know she's getting set up for heartbreak. What more reason does Alice have for being in that relationship than to have a portal? Alice has nothing in common with Tasha. We all saw what she did to Phyllis. She's, like, a destroyer of lives!

I also felt a serious loss when I saw Kit knock back a shot in her office. Frikking Angus. Dangit!
